Welcome to our homepage! I have taught at PGE for over 18 years and have loved every minute!  I think that it is very important to immerse my students in a rich educational environment and believe that all children have the ability to succeed given the proper tools and opportunities.  Each child brings to the classroom a unique set of skills that need to be nurtured to bring about powerful learning.  I strive to bring love, laughter, passion and meaningful work into my classroom each and every day.  This homepage is designed to keep parents informed of upcoming activities as well as house important documents, notices and forms!  I also hope to provide useful links to resources on the web that will enhance your child's learning experience.  If you have any questions (or something is not here that you feel would helpful to have), please do not hesitate to email me at lydia.smith@fortbendisd. It is going to be a GREAT year!
